*The “one-hit-wonder” … kind of, Antoine Dodson, recently spoke with a reporter at the offices of a company called Phone Greetings. He talked about family, fame, and his upcoming book.
Being that Dodson has moved from the projects to suburbs and is on television and radio stations all over, how else is he taking advantage of his 15, er, 30 minutes of fame?
“I am working on my reality show. We are working on the idea and the concept right now. I have a book and a dictionary coming out, and of course phone greetings. The phone greetings are personalized greetings and you can send them as a phone message, or email and they’re for any occasion. They have motivational messages and there’s one for every holiday.”
When asked what the book would be about, he replied:
“What will your book be about? Autobiographical? What about your dictionary? Sorta, the book will be from the day before everything happened and everything leading up to that moment. You know there’s a reason I reacted the way I did and had the du-rag on. The dictionary will be about my catch phrases, cuz you know sometimes I’ll be out and people won’t really get what I’m saying so it’ll be made up of all my catch phrases.”
He said this whole experience has been good. In fact, he thinks it’s “beautiful.”
Dodson also added that most of his fans are rape victims so he will never forget what happened and how his fame came to be.
“Any chance I get to go to Lincoln Park I go out there and look for him. No, he has not been caught. At the beginning police did help and they told us 2-3 months for fingerprints to process. We called just before I got here and now they’re telling me it could take up to 2 years because they’re so behind on their cases,” he said.
How is his sister doing?
“She’s better now. Kelly, she’s got her smile back. My niece is still scared. She’s two-years-old and she was in the bed when the guy snuck in through the window, he laid down on top of her. She gets scared when she sees shadows and when you knock on the door you have to knock softly,” he said.
Dodson is currently working with RAINN, an organization that raises money for rape victims.

His fame is embarrassing to our people, yet funny at the same time… I guess the only thing I can say is, make that money.
I am not gay or anything like that but this guy seems really noble, yea he’s a fairy but at least he went in on the guy who went after his sister. I can’t judge him, it’s better than slangin dope or working for YT. Do you man!
@cappaucino since it was white men who made that song up & i’m sure these are white people that are coming up with all this stuff for him then i disagree about him “working for YT.” he’s most certainly doing that.
Sorry but I disagree, yea a white person made the song, but dude got paid more than you and I working a 9 – 5 got a house got sex stalker app on iTunes, yea YT got his hand in the pot but they ain’t exactly calling the shots, see they are calling him like “Antoine I got this great idea, what do you think?” See there’s a difference between working for YT and working with, if you have a 9 – 5 you working for him,(try not showing up for work) see what I’m sayin? okay let’s keep it movin!
So are we saying do anything for the almighty dollar? Is money our God now? So we allow this kind of Coonery Buffonery to set as back just because he is not robbin your Grandmother? I don’t get society now. Somebody gotta have some sort of class. SOMEBODY! Just like when we support that FEM coon Tyler Perry. We accept that kind of Cooning just because he hires blacks. What kind of crap? Might as well bring out a stage and have us tap dance…. CHALLENGE!!!
Every time I see he has extended his 15 minutes of fame I just crack up…unbelievable
I’m not mad at him for extending his 15 minutes of fame. If Sarah Palin can do it, why not Antoine Dodson? I an mad at those blonde braids.
“Dumbing down of society.” Anything for a buck huh? Must be nice..
It’s a dog eat dog world, economy is bad this guy could be out robbing and stealing or whatever but he is making an honest living. It’s not my style but he is getting paid and coming up, maybe he will go back to school and get more education as a result and as for dumbing down society, sorry rappers got that on lock.
Just Sayin!
Read my above post…
I don’t listen to rap anymore.
Is money our God?
Is money my God? No! But every civilization has and needs an economy, whether is dollars, euros or cave man throwback furs etc, without it there is no functioning society sorry. Now what I am saying is when you are in a desolate place (poor uneducated in the ghetto), with no way out it’s hard, this man hit his lottery let him be. So basically if you were in his situation, uneducated and poor you’re telling me you would turn down this success for pride? lol whateva man!
Come on Black, don’t nobody wanna hear the “Ghetto sob story” WAAAAAAAHHHH “I had to rob people just to eat.” Yeah ok… I know where I’m from and I knew right from wrong and mom dukes let me know “Don’t sell your soul for a piece of change.” I don’t wanna hear that poor uneducated crap bro. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and with my faith I made it through the craziness. I never tap danced my way out of the hood. Dude might as well put on a clown face too. But instead he has white braids? Dude is like some hairy fairy dude.
Well Black, I come from a town of thieves crooks and murderers and it ain’t no sob story it’s real talk. You talkin the Jesus talk but you spit venom, not sure I can follow your logic. But last I checked the strong ought to bear the infirmity of the weak. (check your good book) and if your perspective on this man is true then it means he is weak, and frankly your stance and tone won’t win people over actually you make people dislike what you stand for, you turn more people away. Why? Because you proclaim Jesus to justify your arrogant stance and last I checked Jesus was love homey and I am not feeling that in your post.
Real Talk!
Bruh, It’s not about where we from. Although it may shape us into what we become, we gotta get outta that mentality. True indeed bro ham needs help. Like a strong male influence or mentor. Jesus is love my dude, but it doesn’t mean cats can’t speak on foolishness now does it? Tough Love dig? I don’t know dude personally, but there is something wrong obviously. I know he doesn’t represent me or my race but unfortunately, at work you know DEM DUDES be checking him like “like at those negroes at it again.” Like a bad episode of BoonDocks. Tell me how I am spitting Venom? Did I curse or something? Just saying I’m from a depressed neighborhood, so what? Keep your eye on the prize, get your Salvation… He needs some “intense Fellowshipping.”
I can dig that, dude does need help I think your post hit it dead right man. I agree with you 100% As for the venom comment just disregard it after reading this post I am better able to put together where you come from. From one brotha to anotha it’s all good man!
We good no doubt! Bro needs some help and not from enablers.
